Ashford Homecare

Ashford Homecare is a home care agency based in Worksop, in the Nottinghamshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Worksop office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since June 2013.

At its latest inspection, published December 2018, the CQC rated Ashford Homecare Outstanding, which means the CQC found the service performing exceptionally well. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
